Is the West Elm Shelter Sleeper Sofa comfortable as a daily sofa?

Owners describe it as a soft, deep sit rated 2 out of 5 for firmness, so it suits lounging more than upright support. If you want a firm seat, look elsewhere.

What size bed does it make?

It opens into a queen gel mattress with high-density foam and a gel-infused memory foam top. West Elm notes the mattress runs slightly shorter than standard queen sizing, so fitted sheets may be loose at the foot.

Can I leave sheets on the mattress when folding it up?

No. West Elm says to remove sheets and blankets before folding the mattress back into the sofa to avoid damaging the frame.

How much floor space does it need when open?

The sleeper depth is 90 inches, and the sofa is 80 inches long and 31 inches high. Measure the room with the bed fully extended before ordering.

What is the frame and upholstery made of?

It has a hand-built frame with hand-finished upholstery, available in performance yarn-dyed linen weave or performance distressed velvet. The mattress ticking is an ultra-soft breathable knit.

When is the best time to buy it?

West Elm runs seasonal furniture sales around major holidays and long weekends, and sleeper sofas are often included. Check the price history on this page to see whether the current price is near its low.

About the West Elm Shelter Sleeper Sofa

We piled all three sides of this sleek Shelter Sofa with cushions that are the same height as the back. The result: a sofa that feels like a cozy cocoon. Each is assembled in the USA with hand-built frames and hand-finished upholstery. Unfolded, it's a roomy Queen-sized bed that's perfect for overnight guests. KEY DETAILS Hand-built frame with hand-finished upholstery. Concealed support legs for a streamlined profile (removable). Loose seat, end and back cushions. Gel mattress features a 2-layer construction of high-density foam and gel-infused memory foam. It’s designed to contour to the body and wick away body heat. Seat firmness: Soft. On a scale from 1 to 5 (5 being firmest), we rate it a 2. Mattress ticking has an ultra-soft, breathable knit. Mattress runs slightly shorter than standard mattress sizing. To avoid damaging the frame, do not fold the mattress into the sofa with sheets or blankets on it. Due to tapered arms, the front of the sofa is slightly wider than the back. Assembled in the USA.
